Mole Burger

The Mole Burger is a low-carb delight that combines the rich, complex flavors of traditional Mexican mole sauce with a juicy beef patty, all served on a bed of fresh lettuce instead of a bun. This unique dish is perfect for satisfying cravings while keeping carbs in check.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Mole sauce - 100 grams
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large
• Cheddar cheese - 50 grams, shredded
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
3. While the patties are cooking, warm the mole sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through.
4. Once the patties are cooked, top each with a generous spoonful of mole sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the skillet for a minute to melt the cheese.
5. On a plate, lay down two large lettuce leaves for each burger as a base.
6. Place the cheesy mole-covered patties on top of the lettuce. Add slices of avocado and a few rings of red onion.
7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
